Last month, on Saturday, April 19th, I enjoyed teaching another "Smartphone Photography" workshop at Reynolda Gardens in Winston-Salem, NC. We spent a few hours that morning taking photos together throughout the gardens and inside the newly restored Brown Conservatory. We had perfect spring weather for it too!

From learning the many camera and editing features our phones already have, to some other tips on perspective, leading lines, to rules of thirds, everyone gained a better knowledge of their camera phones and created such lovely photographs. Several of my nine students wanted to share their work and as promised, I'm featuring it here on the blog!

Thanks to all for joining me in class! Each photo has a credit watermark on them. Please do not copy or share without permission from the photographers.  If you'd like to take a closer look, you may click on each one to enlarge. Enjoy!

 As for teaching this workshop again at Reynolda Gardens, depending on scheduling, I hope to be back late summer or early fall 2025 and definitely next spring 2026. This workshop is always very popular and I had a few who wanted to take the workshop this spring, however they couldn't due to other commitments. If you keep your eyes out on Reynolda Garden's event page HERE or sign up for their newsletters and/or become a member HERE, hopefully you won't miss out next time!
